Chapter 3
"Mind if I sit here?" Jasper questions as she stands in front of Garnet.
"All yours." Garnet gestures to the seat across from her.
Jasper takes the seat and watches as Garnet takes a sip of her drink, through a straw. She watches the way Garnet's plump lips wrap around the straw, pulling liquid from it.
"Your work," Garnet states more than asks as she pulls away from her drink and pushes it aside.
"I got it." Jasper digs through her bag and pulls out her work.
"Start there," Garnet says and points to one of the questions.
Jasper nods her head and begins working but can't help but look up when Garnet gets up to throw her trash away.
'Damn if her body isn't nice.'
As Garnet turns around, Jasper quickly goes back to her work.
"How's it going?" Garnet questions, her voice sounding from over Jasper's shoulder.
Jasper jumps a little at the sound of her voice. She's really tired of Garnet doing that.
"I'm good," Jasper responds in a slightly irritated tone.
"Hmm," Garnet hums at the statement and takes a seat next to Jasper.
Everything is quiet for a while. The cafeteria has long since been empty.
"Ugh!" Jasper groans.
"What's wrong?" Garnet questions. Garnet's been watching her work since they met at 1 p.m. It's past 7 now.
"Nothing, I can do it," Jasper says as she scribbles and erases and repeats.
Jasper can't help but hold her breath as Garnet leans over to look at her work, Garnet's breast slightly pressed against her arm.
"Multiply then divide and switch the tops," Garnet says.
Jasper notices that Garnet doesn't move even as she follows her instructions.
"See, now you think you're ready for the test?" Garnet questions, finally pulling back.
Jasper simply shrugs her shoulders.
Garnet let's out a soft chuckle and Jasper turns to face her with an eyebrow raised.
"What's so funny?" Jasper questions.
Jasper watches as Garnet shakes her head; a couple of stray curls covering her eyes.
Jasper just looks at Garnet, but her hand moves of it's own accord to brush the curls out of Garnet's face.
Noticing her action, Jasper brings her hand down to her lap.
Garnet just smirks at Jasper. "If you still need help, we can move this study session to my room .. or yours," Garnet says.
Jasper snaps her head toward Garnet. "Isn't it going to be a little late? I don't want to intrude on you or your roommate."
Garnet let's out a soft chuckle and Jasper furrows her eyebrows. "Relax Jasper," Garnet places a hand on Jasper's thigh. "This is college. We're supposed to stay up late studying and as far as the roommate thing goes, I have a single." With that, Garnet removes her hand and pushes away from the table.
Jasper just looks at Garnet.
"Well, I guess we'll just continue tomor-," Garnet starts.
"No, we can continue tonight," Jasper blurts out before regaining her composure. "Um, just let me pack up."
Garnet nods and waits for Jasper to get belongings together.
